INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

Spring 2000

Genny WidmanThe Florida Police Chiefs Association in cooperation with Florida State University launched its College Internship Program (CIP) in the Spring of 2000. The program exposes students to current criminal justice issues and allows them to work on projects in cooperation with police chiefs and their administrations throughout Florida.

Genny Widman was the first intern to participate in this collaboration between the FPCA and the University. As a senior at Florida State, majoring in Criminology, minoring in Psychology, Ms. Widman spent 15 weeks interning with the FPCA.

Genny was raised and attended school in Nyssa, Oregon. In 1995, she accompanied her family when they moved to Albany, Georgia. She then attended Darton College in Albany until two years ago when she transferred to Florida State University where she was an active member of Lambda Alpha Epsilon (the Criminology Fraternity). Ms. Widman participated in the FPCA's Mid-Winter Conference held in St. Augustine in January. She graduated with a B.S. in Criminology in May, married, and now lives in Idaho.

Annalise Sankar has been selected to intern with the Florida Police Chiefs Association for 16 weeks. She is a double major in Criminology and General Communication.

A senior at Florida State University, Annalise has a high academic standing and is on the dean's list. Raised in Trinidad in the West Indies, she moved to Tampa, Florida in 1994. Annalise attended Hillsborough Community College where she served a term as Vice President of Finance for Phi Chi, a chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honors Fraternity and received her Associate of Arts degree in Mass Communication. She transferred to Florida State University where she decided to also major in Criminology. Annalise enjoys working out, writing poetry and drawing.

Annalise is very enthusiastic about working with the Florida Police Chiefs Association in collaboration with the University. She has already spent a week working with the Executive Seminar held in early October for new police chiefs coordinated by FDLE'S Criminal Justice Executive Institute and hosted by FPCA. She looks forward to gaining insight into the criminal justice system from this internship experience. Upon graduation, Annalise intends to pursue a career in law enforcement and will seek employment with a federal agency.
